Items, Grips, and Misc Info Gathering Thread

Imperial Standard gives Moghancement: Conquest. Perhaps someone will test whether it applies to IS or not.

SAMs basically just freed themselves from needing SA to do Epeen damage

Fixed

Edit: And drgs dont need more survivability than seigan when every 2handed job can solo their own XP mobs now.

I do Nyzul Isle with a NIN, COR, THF, WHM and DRG x2. We went tonight and Holy Mary mother of God we absolutely fucked up everything that moved. This updates crazy, but I can't help but think there's a glitch and it's going to take a sudden nose dive in the next few days...if not, this game just seriously became broken. Our 1 DRG's Gungnir doing Geirskogul did 1600 dmg as /SAM and Penta Thrust was orgasmic.

By the way, Platinum Grips aren't bad, both DRGs scored one each for 50k from a crafting friend and the proc rate was pretty decent, landed maybe 10% of the time on Fafnir for 7-8 seconds, same for any mob.

Haven't seen a word on Pole Grip yet, unless I missed it in the pages. If I did please point me to it, it's almost 4AM so I might of missed it.

If not, has anyone heard anything on it yet? I'm guessing it's going to be a KS30 like the Sword Grip since it's not from IS NPC.

I've grabbed myself a Mythril +1 in the meantime, but I really want my Pole Grip. ; ;

i'm a Carreer WAR, and honestly..... a decently equiped SAM is and it seems will always be more desierable than a Warrior it's sad. warrior is a jack of all trades, and master of none. WAR, can tank, and can DD. but will never be allowed to do so in most LS. SE is forgetting the most fundamental job imo. give a Warrior Spinning Slash and maybe they will be more viable on fights like Fafnir. personally i use Axe/Ridill on Faf but how often do you get to do that? me? never. and i lead my own LS.

i want to see Warrior tanking buffs and a few more WS that are availible to War to make them better SC partners.

WAR is one of the most broken jobs in the game. It has the broadest, best equipment selection. It dominates with DW, it now dominates with 2H weapons. Not only does it have the best 3m, acc and att up, but with proper merits, those buffs are nearly always up.
Not only does a WAR have some of the best offensive capabilities, a WAR can sub /nin and not gimp their damage AND has Defender available.
Our LS used a WAR, as our main tank, on everything up to and including Ouryu and Jormungand. He's gone NIN/DRK in the last year or so, or I would include B2 in the mobs he successfully tanked AS A WARRIOR. He goes NIN just because it's stupid easy to cap hate and Arhat+1 is hax, but he'll probably roll back to WAR for B2s when we get back to farming Bigboy.
If you think that WAR cannot excel... if you believe that it's a jack of all trades... you're doing it wrong and should just quit. Go try Raging Rush out. Use those DEX rings and Pixie earring on a weapon combo that will benefit from it.
With an equipment crate at start of all Salvage zones, WAR is the perfect Salvage tank. Insane DD and defender/shadows and Provoke. Works well with a MNK.
Seriously. WAR needing Spinning Slash.... wtf? ... and SCs? wtf are SCs?
Tanking buffs? Go to the AH and buy a -mgk set and a (insert element of wyrm your LS farms) set. Learn how to toss shadows. That's the biggest tanking buffs you can get right now for any job.
Quit underplaying the job, instead of bitching about needing buffs.

A bit short on the tact, but I wanted to clap regardless. Very well put and may God praise your soul.

I have an LS mate who was a career Gaxe war. Now I've seen some shit in my day, but a galka war with 17% haste in gear, Hasso, Haste, and Rune Chopper with mp merits spamming Raging Rush is something to behold.

He was swinging that Gaxe faster than Joytoy.

Mind you, he's the ls death count leader, but it's all good.

[Leeto]

Anybody have info on celestial rings/earrings?

[Fryte]

Absorb-DEX and Absorb-STR just got a huge buff. ;p

[Turtlesoup]

I see the other beastmen helms are crafted, any news on the Lamia one? I'd really like to get one of those.

Here's your pole straps guys

Good ol' ODS, dropped sword strap too while we were there. No claymores yet.

EDIT: Final tally 3/6 straps, 1 sword, 2 pole. Doesn't seem too rare.

It's really going to suck when in a few days all the people crying at Alla get SE to do an emergency maint, and they nerf all of this. ; ;

Why would they? They gained the most from this.

It all just seems too good to last. Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome I started levelling DRK recently (63 atm), so this is going to be fantastic. I just have this nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach that there will be an emergency maint and they will tone things down a little. I really hope I'm wrong though.

[Tiernin]

I can see the only thing them fixing is the dex=acc thing. That is the most broken part in my opinion.

Tbh I kind of hope they do.
